Khurseed Abbassi, the mayor of Murree, said that six Pakistani men died -- two of them Christians and four Muslims. Blood stains could be seen in the sentry box just outside the school compound and around the church within its walls. Three guards exchanged fire for 10-15 minutes with the three intruders before they escaped apparently unharmed. The assailants fired indiscriminately, hitting an empty boarding house, but according to witnesses, had walked past the school building where children were in class. Around 150 missionary children aged six to 18 study there, including about 30 Americans. The school was holding a crisis meeting to decide whether to continue classes or close down temporarily. The children have all been sent home. Dozens of heavily armed soldiers milled around the scene of the incident and an army helicopter hovered overhead. The gunmen opened fire just after the children had returned to classes after a morning break at 11.00 a.m.
